Professor Challenger and his lost Neolithic world : the compelling story of Alexander Thom and British archaeoastronomy /
:
'Professor Challenger and his Lost Neolithic World' combines the two great passions of the author's life: reconstructing the Neolithic mind and constructively challenging consensus in his professional domain. The book is semi-autobiographical, charting the author's investigation of Alexander Thom's theories, in particular regarding the alignment of prehistoric monuments in the landscape, across a number of key Neolithic sites from Kintraw to Stonehenge and finally Orkney. It maps his own perspective of the changing reception to Thom's ideas by the archaeological profession from initial curiosity and acceptance to increasing scepticism.

Vorlesungen des Herrn Professor Kant über die Logic nach Meier : Nachgeschrieben von Johann Wilhelm Volckmann /
:
"Teils gab er in seinen Schriften vieles dem Publikum, das schon für seine Vorlesungen bearbeitet war" (Borowski 1804). Viele Elemente der kritischen Werke hat Kant in seinen Vorlesungen über Logik sukzessive entwickelt. Die erhaltenen Nachschriften geben Einblick in den Logiklehrbetrieb der Aufklärungszeit und in Kants philosophische Entwicklung. Viele Themen, die in der "Kritik der reinen Vernunft" angedeutet werden, werden in den Logiknachschriften ausführlicher erörtert. Aus der Zeit um 1782 liegen mehrere, textlich eng miteinander in Beziehung stehende Nachschriften vor. Ihr Inhalt geht auf die Logikvorlesungen Kants von etwa 1777 bis 1782 zurück. Die Nachschrift von J. W. Volckmann wird erstmals in dieser Studienausgabe zugänglich gemacht. Der Text ergänzt insbesondere zwei bereits edierte Nachschriften, die "Wiener-Logik" und die "Logik-Hechsel". Zudem wird ein bisher unbekanntes Fragment angehängt, das der "Logik-Hechsel" weitestgehend entspricht.

Biblical Hebrew in Context: Historical and Linguistic Perspectives, Essays in Honour of Professor Jan P. Lettinga.
:
For half a century Jan P. Lettinga (1921), Professor emeritus of Semitic Languages at the Theological University Kampen (Broederweg), greatly influenced the teaching of Biblical Hebrew in the Faculties of Theology, Religious Studies and Semitic Languages in the Netherlands and Belgium by his widely used grammar. This volume honours his legacy and reputation as a Semitist. Lettinga always asked how a historical approach of the Semitic languages and literature would contribute to their understanding, and how this elucidates our reading of the Hebrew Scriptures. Biblical Hebrew in Context applies this approach to issues reflecting the full breadth of Lettinga's interests: Mesopotamian and Biblical Law, the history, grammar and teaching of Hebrew and Aramaic, and the translation and interpretation of Ugaritic and Old Testament texts.
